THE TRADE REVIEW.
Dun's Weekly Report Says the
Monetary Future L.
Uncertain.
Losses III Speculation and Reaction
In Real Estate Make Pros.
poets UnfayOrable.

NRw YORK, Oct. OR. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review Of trade says: The
market shows the influence Of two pow
erful opposing forces-a great expansion
Of currency with ease following the
stringency in the money markets of the
cities tends to lift prices and revives
speculation. But a shrinkage in demand
for many products, the natural result OF
the partial failure Of the crops, makes
distribution less active and collections
less prompt than many expected, while
losses in past speculations, and the be-
ginning of the reaction in real estate
make the prospects less favorable in
some sections. The improvement in
prices, for which men looked in vain a
week ago, has appeared in several mar
kets. Stocks sank last Satur
day to the lowest average for seventeen
months, but have improved considerably
during tht week.. Wheat has risen 2l4
cents. Speculation is growing active at
Chicago again. Corn has advanced about
l cent, though hogs and pork products
have slightly declined. Oil has risen 3
cents. Sugar Is made strong by the for
nation of a trust to control refining.
Wool is more firm, but not higher. The
leather market is better, and prices OF
cattle are q shade higher. Looking to
leading branches Of trade and industry
outside Of speculative markets we find
signs Of decreasing consumption. Steel
rails continue weak, and the fact
ome out that orders for 1888 delivery
thus far cover only $4,000 tons
new business. Building Of all sorts
has gone on at such a rapid rate
that reaction is probable, and the
abatement Of real estate speculation at
many points checks further construction
for the time. The grocery trade shows
the effects of a shrinking demand in sew
cral branches, and the outlook is not re-
garded as entirely satisfactory. Butter
Is weak and unsettled. Northwestern
lumber business is made more active by
the reduction of rail rates. and the flour
movement at Minneapolis is large. Labor
disturbances are growing more frequent.
Interior towns generally report slow col
lections, though in. p%rovement is noted at
st. Paul, New Orleans and Il few other
points. Money is still tight, ordecidedly
close at many Western cities, loser than
before at Chicago with continuing move
ment to the country. The treasury still
puts out money through deposits with
banks, and after taking n large amount
of bullion, holds but $i00, 900 more cash
of all kinds than q week ago. Foreign
trade for October shows an increase of
2.S per cent. in exports and $ per cent.
in imports, but the movement of securi-
ties upon which the monetary future
largely depends, has been for the past

New Scheme Put in Operation by the
Warehouse Commission
MlNNEAPoLIs, Oct. 25.-The state rail-
road and warehouse commissioners have
issued On order regulating wheat grading
at Minneapolis, which has stirred up the
grain men again. Inspector Clausen has
been instructed to change all his in
spectors from one railroad yard to
another in order to give every inspector
in the city an opportunity to grade and
become familiar with wheat from every
part of the Northwest. The plan is to
send an inspector to the Milwaukee yards
one week, to the Omaha the next and SO
on until every man on the force has
gone the rounds. Grain men claim
that the order will work great in
convenience as the inspectors will
require several days to become &C
quainted with the character of the wheat
he handles, and they will make many
troublesome errors. Tho new scheme
went into effect Monday, and at night In
spector Clausen had notice demanding a
reinspection Of over fifty cars of wheat,

original inspection. The inspection force

ST. PAUL, Oct. 2S.-In answer to CON-
plants made by various towns in South
eastern Minnesota againstthe Milwaukee,
Solicitor Cary argued the defense for the
railway. Among other things he said:
"This business Of making a tariff by
somebody not interested is a very serious
business, and if it is carried out will be
substantially a movement to destroy all
railroad property by c~onfscation. Il y
Your action In fixing this rate
would ultimately result in taking from
this road its property. There can be no
question al to this. You may say you do
not take without compensation and
merely take what is right, but
you In reality take that which
belongs to the company, and il your ac-
ton should be sustained it would result
in the conflscation of all our property
whenever anyone wanted 80 to do. This
is a new departure in the laws of this
land. 1t forms a most important case.
The delegation Of the powers of a legisla-
ture to a railway commission, one which
may have crept into some states, is TO-
day having its first attempt at practical
enforcement"
